To promote the show, Egan created a rum-and-brandy-based cocktail topped with a frothy batter of eggs, butter, and sugar, and called it the Tom and Jerry. In 1823, the story was adapted into a play, which ran in London then New York City. The term came to define any pair of young, mischievous men, which is how the cartoon animals got their names. The story was basically about a couple of guys drunkenly carousing around London in the early 1820s. But the generally agreed upon origin comes from British author and professional boxer Pearce Egan, who wrote a short story called, Life in London, or The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn Esq. Its roots are-like most things before the advent of photography-highly debatable. A play promotion takes on a life of its own. But take a trip to Buffalo, New York, and you’ll never look at holiday drinking the same, as this frothy, warming drink takes everything that’s great about the holidays and lets you savor it one buttery sip at a time. The names of that rambunctious rodent and his feline frenemy share their origin with a classic Christmas cocktail that’s little known outside the upper Midwest.
